Why not get all your floor cleaning done with just one tool? These two robotic vacuums from Ilife remove dust and debris and then wet mop your floor, too. Let’s look at both models to see which one will be the best for you.
ILIFE V5s Robot Vacuum Cleaner with Water Tank Mopping,Gold
The Ilife V5s gold finish hints at the value of this talented little vacuum. Like other Ilife robot cleaners, this one has a host of useful features. It’s smart, and it does a good job at a fraction of the cost of other brands.
The highlight of the V5s and the V7s described below is their two-in-one cleaning ability. You can run them like an ordinary vacuum to sweep up crumbs, hairs, dust, and dirt. Then remove the dust bin and replace it with the water bin to wet mop your floor for a deeper clean. The robot comes with a mopping pad that can be used for dry or wet cleaning.
The V5s includes a HEPA filter to catch tiny particles of pet dander and other allergens. Ilife suggests cleaning the filter after each use and replacing it once a month for best results. They include one extra HEPA filter in the box to get you started.
The two side brushes and the main brush do well on hard floors like wood and tile. They can also vacuum on low nap carpets like Berber. The V5s cleans up to 110 minutes before it automatically returns to its charging dock. It’s best if you’re present when it finishes wet mopping because you’ll want to remove the water tank before it recharges.
After 250 to 300 minutes, you can send your robot out again to clean some more. Use the remote control to set up a cleaning schedule, or simply push the button on the robot to put it to work.
The sensors built into the vacuum keep it from bumping into objects or falling down steps. To avoid tangles, it’s a good idea to remove power cords from the floor while it cleans.
More features of the Ilife V5s Robot Vacuum Cleaner:
- Comes with manual, remote control, extra HEPA filter, extra side brush, cleaning tool for the brushes, AC adapter and charging dock, mop cloth, and water tank
- Debris and water bins hold up to 0.3L
- Please remove water tank before recharging the vacuum, or don’t use the scheduling option when wet mopping
ILIFE V7s Robot Vacuum Cleaner Mop and Dry Clean Household with Stronger Power for All Kinds of Floor Cleaning
If you thought the V5s sounded good, the V7s has some powerful improvements. For one, it comes with a larger dust bin and water tank, both holding up to 450mL. The larger water bin size lets you wet mop up to 2100 square feet before refilling it.
The dust bin now has two filters for even better dust control, one regular and one HEPA. You can let the bin fill for up to a week before you need to empty it and clean the filters.
The central brush on the bottom of the robot is a double bristle brush designed to sweep up more cleanly than the earlier models could. The side brushes are longer so they do a better job of cleaning along baseboards and in corners. This vacuum also has stronger suction on carpet than the previous model had.
The battery on the V7s lasts longer, up to 150 minutes at a time. When the robot gets low on charge, it automatically returns to its home base for a recharge. If the vacuum gets stuck somewhere, it now has a sensor that instructs it to move backward and rescue itself.
The V7s comes with a remote control so you can schedule cleaning times for it to work. You don’t even need to be at home while it does its job.

Recommendation
If you have a larger home, or simply want to spend less time having to empty the dust bin and refilling the water bin, get the V7s. It also better at cleaning carpets than the V5s.
If you have a smaller home, consider getting the V5s.
